Henri Matisse - Breakfast 1920

Pablo Picasso - Acrobat 1930 The original inspiration for Picasso’s Acrobat series may have been the Médrano circus, but they also evolved from the drawings of dancers that he made in 1924 and 1925. During the winter of 1929–30, the circular pattern of the pas de deux became a series of multiple silhouettes in slow motion, by turn acrobat and warrior with shield and dagger. - art-Picasso.com
